Question 1:

John worked for

many years as a life insurance agent selling life insurance policies for Eternal Life Ltd, a large insurance company. Following a car

accident, John has had 12 months offwork and has now decided that he will not be returning to work with Eternal Life. As his health
improves, John believes that he might earn some much needed income by issuing interests in a new investment management scheme which he
registers with ASIC. John has worked often with wealthier experienced investors and his registered scheme will target these investors.

John

asks his good friend and neighbour Pam, who is well known in his suburb, to tell people that he is seeking new clients. He also asks Pam to
let it be known that he has enjoyed a successful career in this field, which is certainly true. John works from home and sees only a handful
of quite wealthy, well-informed, clients when it suits him. His work requires only minimal advice to his clients about their interests in

the registered scheme. He issues interests his registered scheme from time to time.

John has no licence and does not work as an authorised

representative for any established AFSL licensee. Business begins to grow and John sees new business opportunities in advising more clients
with respect to personal superannuation policies and their investments in the shares and debentures of publicly listed corporations.
